[Dixielandjazz] Re: LOOKING FOR MORE LYRICS

[Dan Augustine]

Dan & DJML--
     I was myself searching for this kind of lyrics (or did you just 
want 'limericks'?) a few years ago, and i called them 'alternate' 
lyrics.  However, the more commonly used term seems to be 'parody' 
lyrics.  You could do a Google-search on "parody lyrics", but here's 
one website that has bunches of different kinds of parody lyrics:
